Relief Pitcher: Mets look at Capps, and Street
“The Mets are looking at Pirates RHP Matt Capps and a few others, in addition to Rockies RHP Huston Street, as they begin to focus on a set-up man,” reports Jon Heyman on his live blog for SI.com.
Heyman also believes the Mets have talked to the Cubs and Mariners about ‘relief help.’
In 214 appearances in his four-year career, Capps, 25, is 15–11 with a 3.06 ERA through 217 innings, during which opponents are hitting .243 against while striking out 162 times.
Capps is eligible for arbitration in 2010 and 2011, after which he is eligible to be a free agent.
